Abstract
We demonstrate the functionality of an FPGA controlled 4x4 InP monolithically
integrated WDM cross-connect (WDM-OXC) followed by wavelength converters. We
provide evidences that the WDM-OXC can be employed as basic block for building a
large port-count optical packet switch with highly distributed control and low switching
latencies. The switch control is based on an FPGA board that decodes the packet
labels, solves possible output packet contentions and properly drives the WDM-OXC.
We show error free switching operation of four 40 Gb/s NRZ WDM channels with 4 dB
penalty. The overall module switching time is around 25 ns.
